Install FL DataStorm. It shouldn't be any problems to find where Leon base is, or other bases...

It's not far from hell... radiation hell, that is. It's "south" of the neutron star in Omega-41. Take plenty of nanobots, and the repair bill will be quite high. You can minimize the rad damage by staying far away from the neutron star, but you're going to have to get in fairly close to reach the base. I don't remember if you can get the TDC c9 pulse guns at Leon, anyway -- although I know it's the only place to get the c9 Salamanca Turret -- but you can definitely get the TDC at Tripoli Shipyards in Omicron Gamma, with only some minor radiation to contend with in reaching that system.

Thanks a lot. DIdnt realise you could buy them at tripoli, ad i could onl find the freeport in omega-41. Just thought i needed someshield penetration on my sabre, as i checked the stts and it appears that only a couple of the l10 uns beats the skyblast. (ad i sold the silver fires to raise cash back around mission 12/13, whoops). Anyway, off to tripoli it is.
